The G-540 is a set of G-251s in a box. It is 4 axis. You won't regret
this decision, but you will want a 48V power supply.
The current steppers should be fine.
Do not connect or disconnect anything with power to your drivers,
especially that Xylotex. It takes a while for the voltage to dissipate,
make sure it's gone with a voltmeter.
Your new supply should have short protection. If so, it shouldn't be
damaged if the Xylotex is bad. When you apply power, flip the switch
quickly on and back off. If there is a problem, hopefully the short
duration will mitigate any damage.
